Two locker locks can look almost identical from the front while using different key series, fixing methods, cams, door preparations, operating modes or master-key systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The safest approach is to identify how the locker opens, inspect the lock face and key number, look for manufacturer markings, photograph the rear mechanism, check the cam or latch and record the door preparation before ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide covers keyed cam locks, padlock fittings, coin-operated locks, mechanical combination locks, electronic PIN locks and RFID locker locks commonly found in UK schools, workplaces, factories, warehouses, healthcare facilities, gyms, leisure centres and commercial changing rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also explains the difference between locker numbers and key numbers, how to identify manufacturers, what photographs and measurements to take, how to check cams and fixing holes, and when you need a replacement key rather than a complete replacement lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you already know the correct key number and only require another key, go directly to our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/Locker-keys.php\">replacement locker key service<\/a>.

Identify How the Locker Lock Operates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quickest first step is to determine how the user opens the locker. This separates the main locker lock families immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Physical key:<\/strong> usually a keyed cam lock, cylinder lock or specialist keyed locker lock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Padlock:<\/strong> normally a hasp, staple or padlock fitting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coin or token:<\/strong> normally a coin-return or coin-retain locker lock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Number wheels or dial:<\/strong> normally a mechanical combination lock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>PIN keypad:<\/strong> normally an electronic locker lock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>RFID card, fob or wristband:<\/strong> normally an electronic RFID locker lock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This identifies only the broad lock family. Do not order a replacement until you have also checked the manufacturer, fixing arrangement, cam or latch and door preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Inspect the Locker Lock Face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lock face is the visible part on the outside of the locker door and often contains the first useful identification information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Look for a number around, above or below the keyway.<\/li>\n<li>Look for a manufacturer name or logo.<\/li>\n<li>Check the shape and orientation of the keyway.<\/li>\n<li>Record whether the visible lock face is round, oval, square or rectangular.<\/li>\n<li>Look for model, series or part-number markings.<\/li>\n<li>On coin locks, record the coin or token information.<\/li>\n<li>On electronic locks, photograph the keypad, reader and any model markings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take photographs before removing anything. The complete assembled lock often provides more useful identification information than loose components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Find the Locker Key Number or Lock Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For keyed lockers, the key number or lock code is one of the most useful identification details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr>\n<th>Where to look<\/th>\n<th>What you may find<\/th>\n<\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Original key<\/td>\n<td>Stamped, engraved or printed key number<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lock face<\/td>\n<td>Code beside or around the keyway<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lock barrel<\/td>\n<td>Manufacturer, series or key code<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rear lock body<\/td>\n<td>Part number or manufacturer reference<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Locker manufacturer label<\/td>\n<td>Locker brand or range<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Site key register<\/td>\n<td>Locker number linked to the correct key code<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Old invoices or maintenance records<\/td>\n<td>Previous key, lock or part references<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the existing lock operates correctly and the proper key code can be identified, replacing the key is usually simpler and less disruptive than replacing the complete lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more detail, see <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/how-to-find-locker-key-code-uk\/\">How to Find Your Locker Key Code UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locker Number vs Locker Key Number<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not automatically assume that the number displayed on the locker door is the key number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr>\n<th>Number<\/th>\n<th>Purpose<\/th>\n<\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Locker number<\/td>\n<td>Identifies the physical locker or compartment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Key number or lock code<\/td>\n<td>Identifies the key or locking series<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A school, workplace or leisure centre may number its lockers sequentially while the locks use a completely different key-code sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only order a key from a locker number where reliable records specifically link that locker number to the correct key code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Identify the Locker Lock Manufacturer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manufacturer identification can help determine the correct key range, replacement barrel, cam, master key and complete lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look for branding on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the lock face;<\/li>\n<li>the original key;<\/li>\n<li>the side of the lock barrel;<\/li>\n<li>the rear mechanism;<\/li>\n<li>electronic-lock labels;<\/li>\n<li>the locker manufacturer&#8217;s label;<\/li>\n<li>and previous purchasing or maintenance records.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locker locks found in UK installations include products from Lowe &amp; Fletcher, Ojmar, Ronis, ASSA ABLOY and other specialist manufacturers and ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not assume visually similar locks from different manufacturers use interchangeable keys, barrels, cams or master-key systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Inspect the Rear of the Locker Lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the locker is open and the rear mechanism can be inspected safely, photograph the complete mechanism before dismantling anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>lock-body shape and depth;<\/li>\n<li>threaded barrel;<\/li>\n<li>fixing nut;<\/li>\n<li>fixing screws;<\/li>\n<li>mounting plates;<\/li>\n<li>cam or latch;<\/li>\n<li>rods, cables or linkages;<\/li>\n<li>manufacturer markings;<\/li>\n<li>coin mechanisms;<\/li>\n<li>battery covers;<\/li>\n<li>override cylinders;<\/li>\n<li>and management-key points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A photograph showing the assembled mechanism and how it engages with the locker frame is particularly useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Identify the Locker Lock Cam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cam is the metal arm fitted to the rear of many locker locks. It rotates when the lock is operated and engages with the locker frame or locking point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cams are not all interchangeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr>\n<th>Cam detail<\/th>\n<th>Why it matters<\/th>\n<\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Length<\/td>\n<td>The cam must reach the correct locking point<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Straight or cranked<\/td>\n<td>Changes the locking offset<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bend or offset<\/td>\n<td>Affects engagement with the locker frame<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fixing method<\/td>\n<td>Must match the lock spindle or fixing screw<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rotation<\/td>\n<td>Must finish in the correct locked and unlocked positions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Handing<\/td>\n<td>Can matter on specialist and coin-operated mechanisms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A replacement lock can fit correctly through the locker door but still fail to secure it if the cam is wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cam Problems That Can Look Like Lock Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the key turns but the locker does not lock or unlock correctly, inspect the cam, latch and door alignment before assuming the complete lock has failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>bent cam;<\/li>\n<li>loose cam fixing;<\/li>\n<li>incorrect cam length;<\/li>\n<li>incorrect cam offset;<\/li>\n<li>incorrect rotation;<\/li>\n<li>dropped locker door;<\/li>\n<li>damaged frame;<\/li>\n<li>or poor engagement with the locking point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Check the Door Cut-Out and Lock Fixing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The replacement lock must suit the existing locker-door preparation as well as looking appropriate from the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>diameter of round openings;<\/li>\n<li>width and height of shaped cut-outs;<\/li>\n<li>double-D or anti-rotation features;<\/li>\n<li>square or rectangular openings;<\/li>\n<li>fixing-screw positions;<\/li>\n<li>recessed mounting;<\/li>\n<li>front lock footprint;<\/li>\n<li>and any existing conversion plates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially important when changing from a simple keyed cam lock to a larger mechanical combination, electronic or RFID lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Measure the Locker Door Thickness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Measure the locker door thickness in millimetres. A lock designed for a thin steel door may not automatically suit a thicker laminate or specialist door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Door thickness can affect barrel length, threaded fixing length, mounting components and the way the lock sits against the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Check Rear Clearance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mechanical combination, electronic and RFID locker locks can require more space behind the door than a conventional keyed cam lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check the lock-body depth.<\/li>\n<li>Check battery compartments.<\/li>\n<li>Check cables or wiring where applicable.<\/li>\n<li>Check shelves and internal dividers.<\/li>\n<li>Check stored contents.<\/li>\n<li>Check the locker frame and neighbouring components.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lock may fit the external cut-out while still being unsuitable because the rear body fouls another part of the locker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Identify a Keyed Cam Locker Lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A keyed cam lock normally consists of a key cylinder at the front, a barrel or body, a fixing arrangement and a rotating cam at the rear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>key number;<\/li>\n<li>manufacturer;<\/li>\n<li>keyway;<\/li>\n<li>barrel diameter;<\/li>\n<li>barrel or body length;<\/li>\n<li>door thickness;<\/li>\n<li>fixing arrangement;<\/li>\n<li>cam length;<\/li>\n<li>cam shape and offset;<\/li>\n<li>rotation;<\/li>\n<li>and any master-key system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where the lock remains serviceable and the correct key code is known, use the <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/Locker-keys.php\">replacement locker key service<\/a> rather than replacing the lock unnecessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Identify a Hasp or Padlock Locker Fitting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hasp or padlock fitting allows the user to secure the locker with a separate padlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Photograph the complete external fitting.<\/li>\n<li>Measure the padlock opening.<\/li>\n<li>Record the rear fixing.<\/li>\n<li>Check the locker-door cut-out.<\/li>\n<li>Check how the fitting engages with the frame.<\/li>\n<li>Determine whether it is original or a later conversion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When converting from another lock type, make sure the proposed fitting suits or adequately covers the existing door preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Identify a Mechanical Combination Locker Lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mechanical combination locker locks may use number wheels, a dial or push buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>manufacturer;<\/li>\n<li>model;<\/li>\n<li>number of wheels or controls;<\/li>\n<li>front dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>rear lock-body dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>fixing method;<\/li>\n<li>assigned or shared-use operating mode;<\/li>\n<li>code-finding or reset procedure;<\/li>\n<li>and management or override key.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two combination locks that appear similar externally may use different mounting arrangements, operating modes or management systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Identify a Coin-Operated Locker Lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coin and token locker locks are widely found in leisure centres, swimming pools and changing rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>manufacturer and model;<\/li>\n<li>coin or token denomination;<\/li>\n<li>coin-return or coin-retain operation;<\/li>\n<li>door handing where relevant;<\/li>\n<li>master or service-key arrangement;<\/li>\n<li>coin box or return mechanism;<\/li>\n<li>rear latch mechanism;<\/li>\n<li>and wet-area or environmental exposure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not identify a coin lock from the visible front plate alone. Rear mechanisms and door preparation can differ considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Identify an Electronic Locker Lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electronic locker locks may use PIN codes, push buttons, touch-sensitive keypads or other digital input methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>manufacturer;<\/li>\n<li>model;<\/li>\n<li>keypad layout;<\/li>\n<li>battery position;<\/li>\n<li>private or public-use mode;<\/li>\n<li>management or override method;<\/li>\n<li>front dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>rear dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>fixing pattern;<\/li>\n<li>door preparation;<\/li>\n<li>and any programming equipment already used on site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where an electronic lock has failed, check battery condition and management-access procedures before assuming the complete lock requires replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Identify an RFID Locker Lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RFID locker locks use contactless credentials such as cards, fobs or wristbands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Identification needs to cover both the physical lock and the credential system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>lock manufacturer and model;<\/li>\n<li>credential type;<\/li>\n<li>card, fob or wristband technology;<\/li>\n<li>stand-alone or managed operation;<\/li>\n<li>private or public-use mode;<\/li>\n<li>management credential;<\/li>\n<li>battery or power arrangement;<\/li>\n<li>programming equipment;<\/li>\n<li>and associated management system where relevant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not assume that an existing building-access card will operate a proposed locker lock simply because both systems are described as RFID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Master Key and Override Compatibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A replacement locker lock can fit physically while still being incompatible with the site&#8217;s existing management-access system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Record any master-key group.<\/li>\n<li>Identify service or override keys.<\/li>\n<li>Identify management cards.<\/li>\n<li>Record administrator credentials.<\/li>\n<li>Check whether previous replacement locks still belong to the original master system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If authorised management access is important, confirm compatibility before changing the original lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replacement Key or Replacement Locker Lock?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr>\n<th>Replace the key when<\/th>\n<th>Consider replacing the lock when<\/th>\n<\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>The correct key code is known<\/td>\n<td>No reliable key or lock code can be established<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The lock operates smoothly<\/td>\n<td>The cylinder or mechanism is seized or damaged<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The cam works correctly<\/td>\n<td>The cam or latch is damaged<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The current lock system is to be retained<\/td>\n<td>The lock type is obsolete or unsuitable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Only a lost or spare key is required<\/td>\n<td>The lock has been forced or vandalised<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Existing master-key arrangements remain suitable<\/td>\n<td>The organisation wants to change access method<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the complete lock needs changing, use our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/blog\/blog-locker-lock-replacement-guide-uk\/\">Locker Lock Replacement Guide UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take the Right Locker Lock Photographs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clear photographs are one of the most useful identification tools when no definite part number or manufacturer reference is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Complete locker or locker bank.<\/li>\n<li>Complete affected locker door.<\/li>\n<li>Close-up of the lock face.<\/li>\n<li>Close-up of every visible number and logo.<\/li>\n<li>Original key if available.<\/li>\n<li>Rear of the complete lock.<\/li>\n<li>Cam or latch.<\/li>\n<li>Cam in the locked position.<\/li>\n<li>Cam in the unlocked position.<\/li>\n<li>Door cut-out if the lock has already been removed.<\/li>\n<li>Locker manufacturer label.<\/li>\n<li>Relevant measurements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep the camera as square to the component as practical.

safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identify the Locker Manufacturer as Well as the Lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The locker manufacturer can provide useful clues where the lock itself is unbranded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>manufacturer label;<\/li>\n<li>product-range label;<\/li>\n<li>door construction;<\/li>\n<li>ventilation

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">School locker estates often contain several generations of lockers and replacement locks accumulated over many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Record locker number and key number separately.<\/li>\n<li>Record the lock manufacturer where known.<\/li>\n<li>Record any master-key group.<\/li>\n<li>Identify damaged locks during planned maintenance periods.<\/li>\n<li>Keep replacement records.<\/li>\n<li>Standardise compatible replacement locks where practical.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locker Lock Identification for Workplaces, Factories and Warehouses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Workplaces may have different locks across offices, staff changing areas, warehouses, PPE lockers and visitor storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Record the lock alongside the locker location rather than ordering from a generic description such as \u201cstaff locker lock\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If changing to a different locking method, also consider how user access, replacement credentials and management override will be handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locker Lock Identification for Gyms and Leisure Centres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leisure sites may contain keyed, coin, hasp, combination, electronic and

itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">How do I identify my locker lock?<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Start by identifying whether the locker uses a key, padlock, coin, mechanical combination, electronic PIN or RFID credential. Then check the lock face, manufacturer markings, key number, rear mechanism, cam or latch, fixing method and locker door preparation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Is the number on my locker the key number?<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Not necessarily. The locker number normally identifies the compartment, while the key number or lock code identifies the key series. Only use the locker number for ordering a key where reliable records link it to the correct lock code.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Where can I find a locker key number?<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">The key number may be stamped or printed on the key, shown on the lock face or barrel, recorded on a key tag, or held in the site&#8217;s key or maintenance records.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Can two locker locks that look the same use different keys?<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Yes. Visually similar locker locks can use different manufacturers, key series, barrels, cams, fixing methods and master-key systems. The complete lock should be identified rather than relying on appearance alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Why does the cam matter when replacing a locker lock?<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">The cam engages with the locker frame to secure the door. Its length, bend, offset, fixing and rotation need to suit the locker. An incorrect cam can leave the door unable to lock or close correctly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">What photographs are needed to identify a locker lock?<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Useful photographs include the complete locker, lock face, visible numbers or logos, existing key, rear lock mechanism, cam or latch, manufacturer label and door cut-out where the lock has already been removed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">What measurements are needed for a replacement locker lock?<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Useful measurements include door thickness, lock cut-out dimensions, lock-body depth, cam length and offset, fixing-hole centres and available clearance behind the locker door.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Should I replace the locker key or the whole lock?<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">If the existing lock works correctly and the valid key code can be identified, a replacement key is normally the simplest option. Replace the complete lock where it is damaged, seized, obsolete or no longer suitable for the required access method.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">Can an existing locker be upgraded to a combination or electronic lock?<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Often, but compatibility must be checked. Door thickness, cut-out dimensions, fixing method, lock footprint, cam arrangement and rear clearance all affect whether a replacement or conversion will fit correctly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<h3 itemprop=\"name\">How should I identify locker locks before ordering a large quantity?<\/h3>\n<div itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p itemprop=\"text\">Record the existing lock, manufacturer, fixing, door preparation and cam, then test one proposed replacement on an actual locker. Confirm locking, unlocking and management access before ordering the full quantity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identify First, Order Second<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locker lock identification should be treated as a compatibility exercise rather than a visual comparison. The visible lock face is only one part of the system. The key series, rear mechanism, cam, door preparation, locker condition and management-access arrangements can all affect the correct replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the lock still works and the correct code can be established, replacing the key may be all that is required. If the complete lock needs replacing, confirm the physical fit and operation before ordering larger quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Total Locker Service supplies replacement locker keys, locks, cams and other parts for many common locker systems and can help identify unknown components from photographs and measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Browse our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/LockerLocks.php\">locker locks<\/a>, use our <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/Locker-keys.php\">replacement locker key service<\/a>, or send details through the <a href=\"https:\/\/total-locker-service.com\/Identify-Locker-Part.php\">locker part identification service<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Call <strong>01284 749211<\/strong> or email <a href=\"mailto:sales@totallocker.co.uk\">sales@totallocker.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Correct locker lock identification helps you order the right replacement keys, replacement locks, cams, barrels and lock parts.
